It wasn’t my intention to stop writing the blog for 6 weeks, merely that a day or so after my last post I was taken ill with what turned out to be chronic pancreatitis and I’ve been frankly bloody exhausted. As I return to the blog, I find that updates seem to have made the blog harder to edit and I am trying to sort these out as well.

I have written a few articles for God Is In The TV in the meantime, and so I would like to point people towards my review for Michael Kiwanuka’s excellent sophomore album Love and Hate, and Frank Ocean’s utterly astonshing’s Blonde.

ABOUT ME

ED
The rantings and ravings of a thirty-something music fan, from Edinburgh, Scotland.
I've been writing this blog since July 2006. I also write for Is This Music?, God Is In The TV and Louder Than War . I've had my own show on Fresh Air radio, DJed in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and in 2008 set up 17 Seconds Records.

Want to get in touch?

Please note: I receive a lot of emails every day encouraging me to check out new bands, but it does take a while to get through them all. Please do not send follow-up emails, it makes an already difficult job impossible.
I'm based in Scotland so the likelihood of me coming to your showcase in New York (unless you are going to provide travel, board and lodging is slim).
The best way is by this blog's own email address: seventeensecondsblog@hotmail.co.uk
...Did I mention about not sending follow-up emails?
